Reflections

Reflections
Are images everyone sees differently
Do they accurately represent a person?
Or do they cause imperfections in our self esteem?

Imperfections
Are misguided attempts at being perfect
But how can you be more perfect then how God created you?
Aren't all of these wasted misconceptions the least bit blasphemous?

Misconceptions
The way we view ourselves in another's eyes
How can we continuously judge ourselves based on how others percieve us?
These are our bodies so why don't our opinions matter the most?

Opinions
They make a person who they are
Why do we have so many opinions yet so many problems with the world?
This is our generation so why are we allowing aesthetics to rule us?

Aesthetics
Things that get in the way of a person's true colors
Why don't we all just stop wasting our time?
Why don't we all be upfront with who we are and how we feel?

Reflections don't show us anything at all

People bother me. I guess they bother me because I secretly hate myself...I am constantly viewing myself through anothers eyes while striving for perfection;but all that happens when You do that is falling.

Wow, opened my eyes up to a perspective that I also take for granted-my own reflection, physically and internally. Meaningful, cutting, quick words to bring you to your own self-realization. :)

It totally sucks. Even boys have to work to be strong all the time STILL after all these years.

also, maybe you can use one of these questions to write a poem to try to answer it?
